Tortue IS NOT torture!

HE KEEPS ME SANE at the office.

This is why!

Yes, I did spend some time snapping pics of Tortue. He’s a little vain pot – just like his owner. *lol* But in all seriousness, our little creature here took a while to get used to the camera. Taking basking shots of him weren’t so easy since he gets skittish when exposed in such a manner. Nevertheless, I liked how they turned out.

By the way, don’t mind the captions. I’m in a good mood today.

Stop staring, will ya? You’re making me blush.

Someone once told me that a relationship is only so complex as the people who allow it to be so. Love is, in fact, so simple that even children who look at it with innocent eyes sum up everything with a hug, a kiss and a smile.

It’s out.

It took them three LA jabs before I could stop feeling the pain.

Then it took them two hours to get the tooth out. Dad was nice enough to wait though.

I was lucky. It was just an incision, a little bit of bone to remove and a tooth extraction (as if you were removing teeth the normal way). No breaking the tooth into quarters and stuff.

My left jaw is kind of sore and swollen. The pain is not setting in…yet. I hope I’ll be able to do some work tomorrow – I really have to finish this product by Sunday night… *sighs*

The next thing now is to pray and hope that the right wisdom tooth doesn’t give me any freaking problems. Why? Because if it comes out, it will come out root-up.

God. Why do I have this freaking problem?
